Valve Cover Gaskets – FORD and SAAB V4 – “ULTIMATE” Silicone

VALVE COVER GASKETS – Silicone

             for

FORD and SAAB V4

**ATTENTION: If you are using thin steel valve covers, do not use this fiberglass reinforced gasket. Use the silicone gasket RG-8811077 instead.**

This may be the last gasket you will ever need to buy!

–     There is a layer of fiberglass centered between 2 layers of silicone that

        gives the material dimensional stability and higher tensile strength.

–     Therefore, this material is resistant to deterioration by weathering

        or engine oil  and remains flexible over the temperature range noted.     

        As a result, they  provide  excellent performance in high temperature   

        environments.  

–    The gaskets are made from aerospace mechanical grade silicone and

       will not break down and deform or crack up and leak like

       cork or neoprene .            

–     In addition, the gaskets will withstand operating temperatures

       from -100 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.  

–     Best of all, it is a reusable gasket.

Fits Models:     All Ford V-4 and Saab V-4 engines.
